You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 492 - 475
"Why? Oh, I understand, it's because of your little boyfriend?" Xia Xuexu's expression gradually turned cold. "For a temporary boyfriend, would you rather put yourself in danger?"
"He's not temporary!"
Xia Xuexu spoke calmly, "Although your second sister raves about Shen Mochen, I admit, he does look quite good. Take today, for instance—I deliberately wore a low-cut dress, yet he didn't look my way more than necessary. However, I don't think you two will necessarily make it to the end… Don't get agitated, I'm just analyzing this from a rational perspective."
"I don't deny his character, but have you thought about how you two can come together? He is now a star launched by Buque, and Buque obviously values him highly. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, his political future is limitless. So, what can you help him with? Or what do you have that matches him?"
"You are very beautiful, which is your biggest advantage; I also think you are more beautiful than a goddess. But even the most beautiful women face men's aesthetic fatigue eventually. When he becomes busy with work, you won't be able to help at all, and the distance between the two of you will only grow, leading to an inevitable breakup."
"He… he's not the kind of person whose affections change easily."
How could that scum be fickle? he would only say I want it all.
"Let's keep this rational, don't get emotional. He's still young, of course, he can afford not to care, or think that love can conquer all, but what about after he has been famous for a long time… Will he still keep the same mindset?"
Xia Xuexu's tone was severe, causing Xia Qingrou to clench her fists nervously.
"So don't talk about these capricious things anymore. After you return to the military tomorrow, process your resignation. I can wait a few days in Yu Huai, and then I'll take you home!"
Xia Xuexu gave her orders in an indisputable manner. Seeing Xia Qingrou's distressed face, she softened her approach, "I'm doing this for your own good, I haven't asked you to break up with him. After you resign, you can still date him, and we can even invite him over for the holidays. His parents are dead, and he has no one else—we can be his family. We believe that, in any case, he can at least be a whetstone on your path to growth. Plus, after you enter National University, you can improve yourself and you won't widen the gap between you and him. Who knows, maybe you really can end up together…"
"Enough!"
Xia Qingrou yelled.
Xia Xuexu was startled.
"Who said I don't want to resign because of him!" Xia Qingrou bit her teeth, her lips trembling as if struggling to restrain herself, but finally she couldn't hold back.
"This is my business, right? This is my life, right! Why do you all always have to plan everything for me, why do you always have to make all the decisions for me! From childhood to adulthood, everything was said to be for my good—don't I have my own thoughts? Do I have to walk the path you all have planned for me? Why? Why?"
Xia Qingrou suddenly stood up from the pool, her hand tightly gripping the towel, finally erupting with fierce rebellion!
"I won't resign; this is my own decision!"
Xia Xuexu gazed at her blankly, finally realizing that Xia Qingrou was no longer the little sister who used to hide behind her.
The cool mountain breeze wrinkled the surface of the hot spring, and Xia Xuexu eventually bowed her head.
"Reasons." She twirled her hair.
"Captain Yanyan, Xuexue, Sister Yuncui are all there—I don't want to be the only coward running away!" Xia Qingrou slowly submerged her body back into the hot spring and pursed her lips, "I've run away once, I don't want to run a second time. I am now a member of Buque!"
"Do you know you're facing danger?"
"I believe we will win."
"Has nothing to do with men?"
"Anyway… it's not much related." Xia Qingrou turned her face away.
Xia Xuexu was silent for a long time, her gaze deep, "You've truly grown."
She felt comforted yet somewhat lonely. Her sister's growth had nothing to do with her; perhaps protecting her too well had actually hurt her.
Xia Qingrou dryly said, "People have to grow up."
"Alright... Since you insist, stay here then," Xia Xuexu whispered softly, "I'll convince our parents."
After soaking in the hot springs, they returned to their room.
Xia Xuexu stared at the ceiling, somewhat suffering from insomnia, until she finally drifted off to sleep just before dawn.
Suddenly, a sharp alarm pierced through the entire hotel.
Xia Qingrou and Xia Xuexu opened their eyes simultaneously, and Xia Qingrou immediately checked her phone—it was a beast calamity alert.
"There's a monster that has escaped from the node," Xia Qingrou said gravely.
At that moment, there came a knock on the door from the outside.
"Dear guests, a level two beast calamity alert has been issued. Please stay in your rooms from now on, lock your doors and windows, draw the curtains, and do not go outside!"
The person repeated the message twice before quickly hurrying to the next room.
Shortly after, the room's phone also rang, repeating the same message.
"We just talked about it yesterday... the security here really can't match the Capital," Xia Xuexu bit her lip, showing a hint of panic.
"It's okay, I'm here," Xia Qingrou took a deep breath, got up, and changed her clothes.
"What are you going to do?"
"I just looked at the map. The monster's current location is quite far from us, so you should be safe if you stay in the room. I need to go out now; they need a Buque," Xia Qingrou pursed her lips, smiled, took her phone, and hurried out the door.
Xia Xuexu reached out to grab her younger sister but her hand only raised halfway before it drooped down. She was now a Buque, while she was just an ordinary citizen.
Soon, the phone in the room rang again; however, this time the voice sounded much more cheerful.
"I have good news for everyone. A Buque currently in service has contacted us. She asks everyone not to panic; she will protect the hotel and all the guests from the outside! I repeat, a moment ago..."
Xia Xuexu silently hung up the phone, lowered her head, and sat in silence on the bed.
Suddenly, she chuckled.
Xia Qingrou no longer needed her protection; she had already become a capable adult.
She shouldn't always worry about her sister; it was time to think more about her own matters... Xia Xuexu couldn't help but recall what her best friend had once said.
Outside the hotel, Xia Qingrou stood alone at the forefront, holding her phone, constantly monitoring the monster's route. Her phone was equipped with the Buque's internal app, enabling real-time surveillance...
At this moment, it was still dark, the sky a murky gray. Xia Qingrou wrapped her coat around herself, still feeling a bit chilly.
Fortunately, this escape incident wasn't severe. Xia Qingrou watched the glowing dot quickly extinguish, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, preparing to return to her room.
However, a pop-up suddenly appeared on her phone.
Highest Command: All Buques on leave and in reserve must terminate their leave and immediately head to the target location! At all costs, stop the emerging monster!
"What's this?" Xia Qingrou stared at the mark on the app, her face turning pale.
A brand-new spatial rift? Weren't all the spatial rifts accounted for? How could a new one emerge?
Moreover, looking at the map, this new spatial rift was less than a kilometer away from her.
Xia Qingrou lifted her head, and in the murky sky, a profound and narrow rift appeared—it was like a deep abyss monster was slowly opening its eyes.
